Are Kate and William having twins?
What was Prince Williams’ reaction?
Prince William has jokingly admitted he could not cope with having twins.
When William attended the Centrepoint Awards last week conversation quickly turned to babies.
The Duke of Cambridge told Raymond Stoner, boss of Anston Properties: “Our third child is due in April, I’m getting as much sleep as I can.”
When Mr Stoner suggested he could save time by having twins, William replied: “Twins? I think my mental health would be tested with twins.
“Two is fine, I don’t know how I’m going to cope with three, I’m going to be permanently tired.”
Rumours of having twins is not new territory to the Duke and Duchess.
In September 2011 – while pregnant with Prince George – excited Brits speculated that Kate was pregnant with twins.
Kensington Palace released a statement at the time: “Suffice to say that were it true, it would be us that announces it, not a gossip magazine.”
In January 2013 the same rumour surfaced again – while she was carrying Princess Charlotte.
Again, Kensington Palace denied the rumours in a statement referring to the act that the couple are expecting “a baby”, not “babies”.
